In this episode, we take a closer look at how surgical intervention can make a meaningful impact in improving fertility for patients, depending on the type of struggles they are facing.  
Joining me is Dr Lionel Reyftmann, who is a gynaecologist, fertility specialist and laparoscopic surgeon. He is a clinical academic at the University of Wollongong and at Wollongong Hospital, in the coastal Illawarra region of New South Wales. 
Incredibly, Lionel has pioneered a minimally invasive surgical technique called the fertiloscopy.

Today, he explains how the procedure works and what inspired him to come up with it in the first place.  We delve into the rise of robotics and IVF, and if these advancements mean the end of reproductive surgery. Lionel will chat about when GPs should consider referring their patients for surgical assessment, and the importance of finding a reproductive surgeon who is skilled in both the fertility and surgical aspects of care.
